Entrepreneurship has traditionally attracted governments’ attention because of its potential correlation with economic growth. Despite the large amount of research done regarding entrepreneurship, little is known about the relationship between a country’s institutions and its level of entrepreneurship. The purpose of this study is to find out if there are institutional explanations to why some countries seem to promote entrepreneurship better than others. This report examines to what extent institutions derived from Varieties of Capitalism affect the degree of entrepreneurship in a country. The institutions are education, labour regulation, and financing structure. This will be done through a set of regression analysis based on data from a large number of countries. The results of the analysis show that there is a positive correlation between vocational education and the level of entrepreneurship. In contrast to the theory Varieties of Capitalism this study could not find support that labour regulation and financing structure had a direct effect on entrepreneurship. The results indicate that the relationship between institutions and entrepreneurship is complex and that there is need for further examination.

Orientador(a): Maria Orlanda Pinassi / Banca: Silvia Beatriz Adoue / Banca: Frederico Daia Firmiano / Resumo: A incorporação no Brasil do padrão de civilização ocidental foi lenta e gradual. A construção da sociedade nacional sob uma ordem burguesa e moderna nunca deixou de refletir os séculos de exploração colonial, o sangue indígena e negro derramado, a devastação ambiental e a superexploração da força de trabalho. Olhando-se retrospectivamente a partir o século XXI, o cenário parece ter se alterado pouco, sem rupturas profundas. O capitalismo brasileiro historicamente foi e ainda é dependente em relação aos países hegemônicos do sistema econômico mundial, fato que resulta em boa parte das mazelas que afligem a heterogênea classe trabalhadora nacional. Busca-se evidenciar neste trabalho que o chamado neodesenvolvimentismo guarda enorme distância do nacional desenvolvimentismo que se deu entre 1930 e 1980. O neodesenvolvimentismo, a partir dos anos 2000, sob os governos Lula e Rousseff, é na verdade uma adaptação contemporânea do capitalismo dependente brasileiro dentro dos marcos econômicos e ideológicos do neoliberalismo global. Por isso, o ciclo recente da economia e da política nacional aprofundam as condicionantes estruturais da dependência através da reprimarização econômica e da liberalização financeira. / Abstract: The incorporation in Brazil of the pattern of Western civilization was gradual. The construction of national society, bourgeois and modern, has always reflected centuries of colonial exploitation, bloodshed, environmental devastation and overexploitation of labor. In the 21st century, few changes, without deep ruptures. Brazilian capitalism was and is dependent on the hegemonic countries of the world economic system, from which the social problems that afflict the national working class result. This work aims to demonstrate that new developmentalism is very different from the classical developmentalism. Starting in the 2000s under the Lula and Rousseff governments, new developmentalism is, in fact, a contemporary adaptation of Brazilian dependent capitalism within the economic and ideological order of global neoliberalism. Hence, the recent pattern of national economy and politics deepens the structural constraints of dependency through economic "reprimarization" and financial liberalization. / Mestre

O processo de reestruturação produtiva do capital desencadeou uma crescente dilapidação da natureza. Não obstante, a relação homem x natureza é condicionada pelas relações sociais engendradas pelo modo de produção capitalista. Assim, urge estudar a relação sociedade-natureza através da relação capital x trabalho com as atenções centradas na dialética da dinâmica do fenômeno do trabalho com a dinâmica geográfica e vice-versa. / The discussion of environmental, not only at ecologist sloping, but in the crossing with a the question of the work, recognizing this how the metabolism process as collaborate the inter change among man and nature, is this ourselves in that text. The process of the productive re-structure of the nature. No obstructive, the man x nature report is stipulate at social relations engender at mode of the production capitalist. So, is necessary to teach the society-nature report through of the capital x work report with the atentions concentrate of the dialect of the from dynamic of the work with the dynamic geografic and vice-versa.
